COTTON iiERD

Undoubtedly there are numerous in
ftuences which have contributed to
the relatively poorer prices which
fanners of the western part of this
state are getting for their cotton.
Doubtless no ten cotton raisers could
be picked up at random who would
agree on all the matters that have
gone into the utdjdaIthyi|^jtation.
Some would say, more intelligent
marketing, some better staple, and
some another thing.,; *
Of the various conditions'which the
farmers themselves could remedy,
one that. Js believed by some of the
close students of cotton raising and
marketing capable of being accomplish
ed is the matter of getting better,
'staple. And their argument seems fo
logical that it is hard to escape.

THE ILLITERACY PROBLEM

census has been
the names and addresses of all
illiterates in each state will be given
° < to the superintendent of, public in-
struction. This is the first time the
census takers have actually aided in
combating illiteracy,
national advisory committee has
n up this problem in the United
States and hopes to reduce the num-
ber of those' who cannot read or write
any language before the taking of the
census in April.
'Hie near approach of the Federal
census forces upon our immediate
attention the humiliating fact that
Texas, according to the latest census,
hid 295,844 illiterates in 1920 ami
ranked thirty-fifth among the states
in illiteracy. Several of the South-
ern states have attacked the prob-
lem of eradicating illiteracy, and it
'appears probable that some of thein
liiay • have outstripped Texas, thu s
further reducing our rank. |
In view of this situation wKich
. threatens further disgrace to a state
• to young, vigorous, and wealthy, a'
concerted eleventh hour effort to!
|p, seek out illiterates in Texas and to
teach them to read and write in a
few weeks remaining before the tak-
ing of the census may not only ren-
der an estimable service to many in-
dividuals bat also create public in-
terest in a permanent program to
reduce illiteracy to a minimum fol-
lowing the 1930 census.
U. S. PROHIBITION POLL MADE
Prom various par .
read that the farmers are beginning
to mafce 'tpir plans for i better gratfe
of cotton thig season. Doubtless the
matter of getting the kind of seed
that are wanted may bring * hitch
in the-affairs of possibly tho indiv
viduality of the many farmers who.
go to make up a community may
forestall complete success. But eve/ 1
the partial introduction of longer
staple cotton will heip;--4f * half of
what is said about India produeiijg
all the short staple the world can use:
is true, then it would not be the part
of wisdom for West . Texans, with
their high standards of living, to at-
tempt to compete with the six cents

A POPULAR FEATURE
Turkey Enterprise: Last week the

which will be run indefinitely', under
the caption of "I See By the AdjS—

This is a mistake for more reason*
than one. Every newspaper carried
two kinds of news—that paid for and
that not paid for. Sometimes the
paid ads outweigh the other publicity
in news valufe.
The column will be conducted with-
out prejudice and everyj advertiser
may rest assured that there will b«>
no discrimination against or for him.
As an indication of how the column
will be received, a reader said to U3
this week, "It will be the most read
and best liked article in the paper."
The ads are always newsy. The
reading public will do well to form
the habit of reading them while the;
non-advertising merchant will do well
to form the habit of using them.
